    Henry Big Boy X Model - High Grin Factor!

    Love mine in .45 colt as well! I use mine for ATV rides and camp security. Great little rifle! I need to do some more load development as well. Too many guns...

    If you could have only one pistol?

    If my governor had his way, which he may well get very soon...

    Another beautiful shotgun; Winchester Model 21.

    How do I tell if it has the original finish or not? The receiver and action looks like normal wear for an 80yr old cared for firearm, but the barrel looks a little too perfect.

    Shot my carry pistol at 50 and 100yds.

    I went out to my property to check on stuff and drop off a BPCR turkey steel silhouette target. It was horrible day with lots of wind and rain and a cold front moving in, so wasn't planning on shooting. All I had was my carry pistol; a Sig P365 9mm. But I couldn't resist trying to ring steel...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    I think a lot of guys here are not familiar with much of Idaho hunting, which is vastly more difficult to navigate than Midwest hunting. I lived in Iowa for a few years and couldn't believe just how little skill and effort was needed to get a deer out there. Most hunting I saw was within...

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    I really don't know anything about accurate rifle shooting other than breathing and trigger control. I have a bit of natural talent, but lots of poor habits and ignorance of much of it. I grew up running around the woods with a .22 as a kid, then got into big-game hunting a bit, then joined...

    Who scopes their .22s?

    I inherited this 10/22 from my dad and it came with a scope. It also had the most beautiful wood I've seen on a production 10/22... Love this little Ruger Mark III scoped...

    Who scopes their .22s?

    I disagree... 😇

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    I have a storage tub full of awards and medals stretching back decades. These are just a couple of quick photos I took after the fire destroyed most of his reloading room. He was a pretty good shot.

    Gun safe in garage….in Texas

    When I inherited my father's firearms collection, complete with two giant safes, I couldn't fit them in my house, so I bought a steel shipping container, put it in my backyard, and put the safes in there. It was a disaster. The drastic temp changes overnight along with improper venting of the...

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    I think you misunderstood, and it is completely my fault since I was in a hurry before work and didn't bother to make the scope adjustments and fire two separate groups on different targets. The first group was fired with everything tightened up and the actual match ammo identified, which is...

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    5-shot group with bipod, dialed in loads, and everything tightened up. 2nd 5-shot group after removing bipod shooting on bags.

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    Took it back out today before work and got it down to around 1/2" 5-shot group. It's going in the right direction! Thanks for the help!

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    In the video, I show the trigger pull at just over 1lb. I'm getting a very consistent and confident sight picture when the trigger is touched. The crosshairs are perfectly centered on the bullseye and at 20x at 100yds, it is clear as day where the bullet should be going. I'm hoping that...

    Optic or no optic on your defense handgun?

    I went to an optic on my woods carry pistol where it is not concealed and longer distance shots are more likely. I went with a Holosun 508T. It has solar back up, shake awake, and three different green reticles with auto dimming. My daily carry is a P365 and I need it to be as concealable...

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    My fault with the load data. Totally got the powder wrong when typing. The ring base issue is a non-issue as it is just a fancy base that most people aren't familiar with. I've never seen one before. The rifle and equipment is like Formula 1 racing. If you grew up drag racing, then a lot...

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    I'm confused. Why would you state that I made a mistake on the loads? I didn't load them. They were created by my father, who knew more about reloading and precision shooting than 99% of shooters.

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    Okay, I looked at all of the suggestions and went over the rifle and found a couple of issues. The action screws were tight, but the trigger guard screws were loose. One of the rear scope mount screws on the base was finger tight, The forward scope ring screws were finger tight. Removed the...

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    That's not a 2-shot group. It's a 3-shot group, with two rounds going through one hole. 3-shot groups are standard for hunting rifles with lighter profile barrels. 5-shot groups are standard for target rifles with heavier barrels.
